克莱尔·丹弗斯表示，她在2024年初首次注意到自己的症状，包括严重的背痛、疲劳和恶心。她说疲劳感变得极其严重，以至于午饭后'眼睛会感到沉重'，身体也会'感到疼痛'。

一位母亲总把上学接送前需要小憩归咎于忙碌的育儿生活，直到医生在她乳房中发现13个肿瘤时，她才陷入崩溃。

克莱尔·丹弗斯表示，她在2024年初首次注意到自己的症状，包括严重的背痛、疲劳和恶心。她称这种疲劳感后来变得极其严重，午饭后就会感到“眼皮发沉”，身体也会“出现生理性疼痛”。

这位39岁的女性表示，她经常需要在接孩子放学之前小睡一会儿，但将这种疲惫归因于自己是一位忙碌的自雇母亲。由于背痛非常严重，克莱尔（Claire）每天都需要服用止痛药。她提到，起初这些症状被归咎于她所患的子宫内膜异位症。

2025年2月，克莱尔（Claire）发现右乳有肿块后，于同年4月前往全科医生处就诊。医生建议她进行活检，2025年5月底，当医生在其右乳发现13个肿瘤后，她收到了罹患乳腺癌的噩耗。

克莱尔表示，这一消息令她感到“精神受创”，此后她接受了乳房切除术以及化疗和放疗。

这位网络营销人员表示，害怕抛下孩子的恐惧感'令人崩溃'，并鼓励其他出现乳腺癌症状的女性'为自己积极争取（医疗权益）'。

来自多塞特郡普尔的克莱尔表示："我当时正遭受严重的背痛折磨，每天都要服用扑热息痛和布洛芬来缓解疼痛。我还感到极度疲惫——整天都无精打采。"

每到午后，我的双眼就沉重不堪，身体也隐隐作痛。虽然总想小憩片刻，但当时我把这归咎于既要抚养两个孩子，又要经营压力巨大的生意——毕竟我是个体经营者。

当时我把所有症状都归咎于生活状态，用忙碌来搪塞身体的不适。确实有些日子我会靠在椅子上闭目养神片刻，但只当是那段时间压力过大所致。

克莱尔于2025年4月就诊于她的全科医生，此前两个月她发现右乳有肿块。克莱尔表示："2024年12月我腋下曾出现过一个肿块。"

我不断给自己找借口——比如告诉自己只是身体不适，那不过是个肿大的淋巴结，10天后就会消失。直到2025年2月再次发现乳房肿块时，我才意识到这绝非正常现象，那种异样感挥之不去。虽然之前腋下的肿块确实自行消退了，但这次情况明显不同。

遗憾的是，我一直拖到四月份才去检查，这完全是因为我丈夫不断催促我去看医生并接受检查。医生为我做了检查后，立即表示要将我转介至乳腺癌两周快速诊疗通道。

2025年5月2日，克莱尔接受了活体组织检查，并在当月晚些时候得知了一个令人心碎的消息——她患上了乳腺浸润性小叶癌，这是一种乳腺癌。

克莱尔说："当我最终发现时，我的癌症肿瘤整体已增长至9.7厘米，乳房内共有13个肿瘤。确诊那一刻我深受打击。而最艰难的事莫过于将病情告知家人和我的两个孩子。"

癌症诊断本身已足够令人痛苦，但为人父母者还会感到内疚，尤其是当孩子年幼时。我的孩子们刚满六岁和八岁。想到可能抛下他们——这种负罪感简直可怕至极。

克莱尔于2025年6月接受了右乳切除与重建手术，随后进行了四个月的化疗和15次放疗。她表示：“这一切都令人非常痛苦。”

你无法接受这一切——就像在旁观自己的人生。那种感觉不像亲身经历，倒像是看着别人经历这些。我刚结束化疗和放疗，现在正在接受激素治疗。

由于我的癌症由激素驱动，医生必须阻断我的激素分泌。这彻底改变了我今后的人生。39岁的我被迫提前进入更年期——因为只有停止激素分泌，才能阻止细胞癌变。完成这些治疗后，只要我能耐受下一阶段的激素疗法，最终还将接受子宫切除手术。

克莱尔（Claire）目前正在鼓励那些察觉身体异常的人学会"为自己发声"。她表示："人们——无论是医生还是我自己——很容易将我的症状归因于子宫内膜异位症。我的建议是：永远要坚持为自己争取权益。当你直觉认为有问题存在，即便不清楚具体原因，也要坚持追查到底。"

Claire Danvers says she first became aware of her symptoms, which included severe back pain, fatigue, and nausea, at the start of 2024. She says the fatigue became so extreme that her 'eyes would feel heavy' after lunchtime and her body would 'physically hurt'

A mum who blamed needing a power nap before the school run on being a busy mum was devastated when doctors uncovered thirteen tumours in her breast .

Claire Danvers says she first became aware of her symptoms, which included severe back pain, fatigue, and nausea , at the start of 2024. She says the fatigue became so extreme that her 'eyes would feel heavy' after lunchtime and her body would 'physically hurt'.

The 39-year-old says she would find herself needing to take a nap before picking her children up from school - but put the tiredness down to being a busy, self-employed mum. Claire, who was taking painkillers every day because her back pain was so severe, says that her symptoms were initially put down to her suffering from endometriosis.

But after discovering a lump in her right breast in February 2025, Claire was prompted to visit her GP in April 2025. Doctors referred Claire for a biopsy and at the end of May 2025 she received the devastating news that she had breast cancer - after doctors discovered 13 tumours in her right breast.

Claire says she was 'traumatised' by the news and has since undergone a mastectomy as well as chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.

The network marketer says the fear of leaving her children behind is 'horrendous' and is encouraging other women who experience breast cancer symptoms to 'advocate for themselves'.

Claire, from Poole, Dorset, said: "I was suffering with extreme back pain. I was taking paracetamol and ibuprofen every day for the aches and pains that I was having. I was experiencing extreme fatigue - I was tired all the time.

"I would get to after lunch time and my eyes would feel so heavy and my body would actually hurt. I would want to go to sleep but then I was putting it down to having two kids and having a very stressful business because I'm self-employed.

"I was putting all of my symptoms down, explaining them away with how my life was. There were definitely some days that I would recline in my chair and close my eyes for a little bit. I just put it down to the fact that I was going through a lot of stress at the time."

Claire visited her GP in April 2025 after discovering a lump in her right breast two months earlier. Claire said: "In December 2024 I had a lump come up in my armpit.

"I was explaining stuff away - I was like I've been unwell, it's just a raised lymph node and then that disappeared in 10 days. When I found the lump in my breast in February 2025 yet again I thought that's not normal, that doesn't feel right, but I had a lump in my armpit and that went away.

"I unfortunately left it until April and it was only because my husband was constantly badgering me to go to the doctors and actually get it checked out that I did. The doctor examined me and said that straight away she was referring me for the two-week rapid referral pathway for breast cancer."

Claire underwent a biopsy on May 2nd 2025 and received the devastating news that she had invasive lobular carcinoma, a type of breast cancer, later that month.

Claire said: "By the time I actually found it, my cancer as a whole had grown to 9.7cm and I had 13 tumours in my breast. "I was traumatised [when I was diagnosed]. The hardest thing I've ever had to do is tell my family and my two kids.

"Cancer diagnosis is traumatic enough but there's also guilt you feel as a parent, especially having young children. My children have only just turned six and eight. The fear of leaving them behind - that guilt is horrendous."

Claire underwent a mastectomy with reconstruction on her right breast in June 2025 and has since undergone four months of chemotherapy treatment and 15 sessions of radiotherapy. Claire said: "Everything is just very traumatic.

"You can't take it in - it's like your watching your life from the outside. It doesn't feel like you're going through it, it feels like you're watching someone else go through it. I've literally just finished my chemotherapy and radiotherapy and now I'm having hormone therapy.

"Because the cancer is driven by my hormones, they have to shut your hormones off. My life has now been changed for the rest of my life. I'm 39 years old and I've been drop kicked into menopause because they have to stop my hormones, to stop my cells turning into cancer. Once I've done all of that, as long as I can tolerate the next stage of hormone therapy, I will then eventually have a hysterectomy."

Claire is now encouraging other people who notice that there is something wrong with their bodies to 'advocate for themselves'. She said: "I think it was very easy for people - doctors or even myself - to look and say my symptoms were because of endometriosis. My advice would be to always advocate for yourself. If you have that gut feeling that something isn't right and even if you don't know what it is, push through it and keep pursuing it."
